7 Reasons to Wait for the OnePlus 7T & 4 Reasons Not to

Don't Wait If You Can't Afford It

Don't wait for the OnePlus 7T if you can't afford it, or if you can't afford flagship prices. Each year they've added a good $20 or $30 to the overall price, if not more, and we don't see that stopping anytime soon.

Instead of $299, or even $479 pricing like we've seen in the past from OnePlus, the 7 Pro was almost as expensive as a Galaxy S10.

OnePlus 7 Pro with 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage - $669

OnePlus 7 Pro with 8GB of RAM and 128GB storage - $699

OnePlus 7 Pro 12GB RAM and 256GB - $749

And while that's still far less than the $999 asking price for the comparable Galaxy S10+ it's not cheap, and some people don't want to pay those prices.

Don't be surprised if the OnePlus 7T Pro comes in at $699, $729, and $779, if not more.

If they kill the pup up camera n the screen size they are killing everything that make this phone stands out. Water proof not so much. The 5G thing n 12 Ram they been playing us about that in a way.For US they aren’t available or u must get it directly from them, that’s kind turn off. But am still happy with my 7 pro if they asure 5G is a plus n the Android 10 OS that’s all I need

Thanks for the comment Josue. I agree. The 7 Pro will get Android 10 Q before December, and I don’t think 5G will be relevant until this time next year. Your 7 Pro is still a great phone.

And while I agree that making the screen smaller isn’t ideal, but a lot of people complained the phone was too big and heavy. Which is why I think we’ll actually get TWO 7T phones. Plus, as neat as the popup camera is, that’s a potential fail point and a moving part they’ll want to remove ASAP.

I don’t know if under-display camera tech is ready yet from Oppo and for OnePlus, but if they manage to put the front camera under the screen in 2019 that would be a big deal. It’s doubtful though.

1. Why does anyone care about IP ratings??? OnePlus makes their devices water resistant to sufficiently withstand being accidentally dropped in water. Unless you take your phone deep sea diving, the only thing that an IP rating will do to a OnePlus device is drive the price up unnecessarily!

2. Please explain the logic behind the alleged demand for wireless charging, when it’s so damned slow? Especially in comparison to OnePlus’ fast charging!?!? Why would you want to pay MORE for a device that charges slower? Who cares if it doesn’t have wireless charging? I want FAST charging, because I can’t afford the luxury of standing around with my thumbs up my ass. I’m an IT professional; and I need my device ready when a situation arises. I can’t afford to leave it on a wireless charger for an hour, just to get enough battery juice to allow me to hotspot off my phone… and establish a VPN connection… while I troubleshoot and resolve a problem (which may very well require downloading and uploading large files).

3. News Flash: not everyone cares about the front camera, because not everyone takes selfies. More than half the phones out there are never used to take selfies! The current pop-up camera solution on the OnePlus 7 series phone is more than sufficient! Unless OnePlus can implement something that offers better photographic results AND is more cost effective, let them leave the pop-up camera in.

Stop whining for better this, or more that… which only makes the device more expensive and less attractive! I want VALUE for my money! If I didn’t, I’d buy an iPhone.
